KAY BELL DOES IT AGAIN!

Kay starts off the post by telling us – “There are lots of stories each tax season about how taxpayers can find a reputable, qualified tax preparer. . . But there's a flip side to this coin. How do tax professionals find good clients?”.

The post goes on to list a handful of the gripes we tax professionals (taxguy and I, some fellow twits we all share) have about how some of our clients behave. Believe me, Kay only scratches the surface.

. She does make some good points. For example, “if you and I were better clients, we'd not only make our tax advisors' jobs easier, we'd likely end up with a better tax result”.

Her bottom line is also something all clients should take to heart – “A little bit of planning and preparation on your part will enable your tax pro to do a better, and bigger tax-saving, job for you”.
